Out of Context Tuesday: Isaiah 7:14 - Was Mary Really a Virgin? - A Higher Things® Video Short

This time of year, people spend a lot of time trying to debunk Christian beliefs, like Mary's virginity. But the actual words used in the Bible don't leave any wiggle room. The miracle of Christmas is not that some maiden had a son, but that a Virgin conceived and gave birth to the Son of God, who lived and died to save you from your sins.

Please tell me why the Jews were referencing Greek when their native language was Aramaic/Hebrew? It's these inconsistencies that are concerning. That along with the difference between The King James version " And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
and the present day NIV " Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” The first being very inclusive and the second being very Roman Catholic in it's exclusiveness. All I ask is that you be consistent. Quit using dead languages to keep the regular people at a distance
